Abstract
The motion of a charged test particle in a hard rod fluid is studied within Boltzmann's kinetic theory. The external field is supposed to be uniform and constant. In the case where the host fluid particles move isotropically with a fixed speed the problem can be exactly solved. The stationary velocity distribution is derived. It is shown that the drift velocity varies linearly with the field in the weak field limit and becomes proportional to the square root of the field for strong fields.
